That risk expected to last through the weekend.
"We're monitoring the weather very carefully," said PG&E spokesperson Tamar Sarkissian.
PG&E says with these conditions, it's likely they could have public safety power shutoffs in parts of the East and North Bays.
"We only do these when we see multiple elements coming together. Things like high winds, low humidity, lots of dry debris on the ground," said Sarkissian.

But this time of year, officials say fires can happen anywhere.
Paul Lowenthal works for the Santa Rosa Fire Department.
"We see the red flag conditions to our east in the Sacramento Valley east of the Bay Area. And elevated fire weather concerns here in Sonoma County," he said.
Lowenthal says his crew has been getting ready for fire season for weeks now.
But with some potentially tough months ahead, he's reminding the public they need their help too.
"Take care of their weeds. Maintain defensible space. And then obviously be prepared for what is to possibly come this season," said Lowenthal.
Forecasts say a developing El Nino event this summer could trigger a harsher fire season than normal across California.

No matter what happens though, Lowenthal says he and his colleagues will be there to keep everyone safe.
"You always hear, you know, what's the fire season going to be like this year? Or is this going to be the worst fire season? And, really, until the season's over you never really know how it's going to end up."
